This place is the perfect blend of an exotic rain forest location with onsite yoga, and a remote beach/surf town for some local atmosphere. You can horseback ride on the beach, go for a zip line tour, visit waterfalls or just do nothing. It's the best spot to get away from busy city life and to reconnect with nature. The... More

We found this place through a Groupon and I wondered what we were getting into. The property is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. I had no idea the jungle would be so amazing. The sights and sounds are unparalleled. The help is friendly and the meals delicious. I took yoga at least once every day... More

Samasati Retreat was a wonderful experience/ honeymoon. The staff was helpful and friendly, they all did their jobs amazingly. The location is breathtaking and personal. Samasati is perched on the side of a mountain that overlooks the Caribbean Sea. The wildlife is present and active, moreover the locals are friendly and helpful. All of the extra activities Samasati offers are... More

Experience of a lifetime, but not for everyone. My husband and I came upon Samasati during our 4 week trip in Costa Rica, when looking for a new adventure. The adventure started on the steep ride up to the Retreat, which we hiked up and down a few times during our 8 day stay. Remembering all the time that you... More

The retreat caters to the white upscale yoga spiritual type with cash to burn. It is situated in a beautiful jungle area, with incredible variety of plant and animal life. With a little patience, wild sloths and monkeys can be seen. Plenty of ants, spiders, mosquitos too, so plan to be bitten (even if using repellant, and you should be)... More

Great experience. The staff is very friendly. They all speak English. They arranged everything for my trip to arrive and depart. Buffet was tasty and good veggie food. The rainforest is spectacular. Sleeping right in it to the sound of rain at night, very peaceful. The rain stopped during the day and I saw sloths, monkeys, parrots, tucans, potoos, humingbirds... More

Despite the utterly beautiful location and hearty food (not gourmet, more like home-cooking), I found staying at Samasati to be an uneasy and disappointing experience. Anyone who is not highly experienced in yoga should avoid this place like the plague. The guests were mixed in with a teacher training class when i was there, and lots of people were frustrated...

Thanks to Groupon, we found ourselves at this Yoga retreat resort. The trip included a 5 night stay, all meals and two yoga classes at a very reasonable price. When I went on the website I actually found that I didn't necessarily need the Groupon to get the deal as they regularly run specials. The resort is very secluded in... More
